Welcome to AZSPC.org
Every year suicide claims
more lives of Arizonians
than homicide. Yet most
suicides are preventable.
With public discourse,
education, and awareness,
each of us can help reduce
the frequency of suicide in our communities.
The most important step in prevention is the recognition of the many signs of suicide. With compassion and courage, we can give a loved one hope in time of despair.
Survivors, Professionals, Supporters and anyone who is interested in the issues surrounding suicide are invited to come into our site for additional information.
Coalition meetings are held the second Tuesday of every month. Please call (480)784-1514, ext 2750 for more information.

ACROSS ARIZONA
P.V. schools focus on suicide prevention
After two girls at Horizon High School committed suicide this spring, school officials from the area have embarked on a series of workshops and events to promote suicide prevention. The first of these events was a two-day workshop last week where some 30 parents, teachers and staff from the Paradise Valley Unified School District gathered to learn about suicide.
